Hi Simon,
You can purchase a DRM-free, ePub version of "Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
The Missing Manual" by David Pogue from O'Reilly's eBooks. They sell
their eBooks in multi-format bundles that include PDF files that you
can read in Preview and ePub versions that you can add to your iTunes
Library and read in iBooks on your iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch under
iOS 4). They also have "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual,
Snow Leopard Edition" by the same author. All the O'Reilly books are
available through Bookshare.org, internationally, although the annual
subscription for users outside of the U.S. is probably the cost of
buying the book from O'Reilly in an eBook bundle that includes an ePub
version. Here's their web site:
http://oreilly.com/ebooks/
You'll need to create an account with log in for your purchases. Once
you buy the eBook bundle, you'll have access to multiple formats of
the book from your log in account. They'll also tell you if the book
has been updated. I'm not sure if this is still valid, but they ran a
promotion for eBook purchases in connection with the iPhone (Stanza
app) last year, and the coupon code "STANZACAT" on checkout gave a 40%
discount.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Snow Leopard, The Missing Manual from OReilly publishers is an
extremely
good book. It describes in detail what the window controls look
like and any
keystrokes, if applicable, etc. I highly recommend it.

Hi:
Now this is a switch. LOL. I've learned Windows from sighted
people, so
have been able to adapt from their POV; however I'm learning the
Mac from a
blindness perspective. I'm trying to show a sighted person my Mac,
and since
I don't really know what the screen looks like, we're having
issues. I.E. He
cannot see the icons on the doc, and he cannot find the address bar
in
Safari. Any advice?
